Bridges

B is for Bridges.

Bridges are miraculous, if you think about it. Engineers have come up with designs that are over a mile long and support tons and tons of stuff. We have to live with the faith that the bridge will not collapse under us. Kind of like airplanes. There are so many things precariously placed on the earth and we have to rely on everything doing what it's supposed to do to stay alive and not go insane.

Also, bridges are good metaphors. Crossing over from an ending to a new beginning. And there are so many types. Little decorative bridges for a garden, cool cobblestone bridges, skyway bridges connecting two buildings, big steel railroad bridges, gigantic ocean-crossing bridges. And of course, that's a very limited selection.

Bridges show human achievement in overcoming obstacles. Did you know that the longest bridge in existence right now is the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge in Japan? See, this alphabet thing is going to be very educational, I just know it.

"C" you tomorrow! haha, get it?!
